My sixth and the 11th Lone Star/Paul Malvern Production directed by westerns veteran Robert N. Bradbury (father of westerns star Bob Steele) and another good one. IMDB says its 59:00, but unfortunately we get
49:39 - that's a lot of missing action. The boss bad guy is veteran Earl Dwire as a phony Mexican with a rather phony and humorous Mexican accent - he is ruthless and vicious. He leads an equally nasty band of henchmen legendary stuntman Yakima Canutt and Buffalo Bill, Kr./Jay Wilsey. Sheila Terry stands in as Wayne's love interest - IMDb says between 1932-38 she appeared in 43 films and then her career bottomed out - she committed suicide in 1957. The plot pits Dwire's desire for control against Wayne and Hayes. Plot devices used in other films in this series include: falling and jumping into a stream, the heroine risking her life ridding back and forth to bring Wayne a warning, an excessively dense sheriff who keeps arresting Wayne and stupidly interfering with the capture of the bad guys, the use of dynamite and finding Wayne wed at the end. A fast moving 49 minutes - wish the rest of the film was here.
